For this Christmas card, I colored in the candles Shiny Holidays with my Copic markers, and then did some border embossing. First, I inked the top and bottom of my card with Tim Holtz distress ink in Shaded Lilac -- then I embossed it! This creates more depth and makes the pattern more outstanding. The same can be achieved by embossing on colored cardstock :)

, that I layered with a few different papers and also added some balloons from the Sweet Stamp Shop "Let's Flamingle".

I also added some Gold Gliter to give it some extra bling!

And what's a birthday without a cake? :)

I made the birthday cake box (just a single slice) and added some frostings using Prima's snowflake paste. Then before it dried, I stucked the two strawberries I made using the JGW Spring Swag kit and added some glitter confetti.

For my first card, it's a holiday Christmas card using the Operation Snowball Brentwood stamp.

I gave him an "ugly" elf sweater along with a reindeer head gear, along with some cute snowballs at his side. Then I stamped the sentiment and embossed it with some gold embossing powder. The beautiful papers I used is from DCWV along with some Freckled Fawn enamel dots.

Don't you think Brentwood is just so cute?

Now, it's time to go to fantasy fairyland with the Once upon a Fairytale Brentwood stamp.

I colored her with soft pastel colors using my Copic markers then cut out the leaves for her to sit on :) I am loving the cute swirls and stars that come along with this set. I also added some Stickles glitter for the borders.

For my next card, I die cut the image out and instead of throwing the negative away, I turned it into a frame! I painted it with some Tim Holtz distress paint {bundled sage} and added some liquid pearls using Viva Decor's paper pen {light green}.

The super duper cute stamp is from the "I tolerate you" kit ---which I have colored in with my Copic markers.

This Strange Birdis from Unity Stamp and he's quirky but cute don't you think? :)

So for this card, I used the same stamp to create a background paper using some Versafine inks. The tip here is to choose lighter colors than your "main" bird so that it will stand out more. I colored the "main" bird with some Copic markers and stamped the sentiment also with Versafine ink.

Hope you like this quick little technique and do try it out for yourself!

So, here is my holiday version for my Gable Box. I used all DCWV papers here and even die cut those cute little Christmas trees to decorate the front of the box. I also added some Trendy Twine for the pretty bow.

Imagine the possibilities of just having fun and making customized boxes for your loved ones!
